His kit is awesome and he is just on a totally different level of music and drumming! Mad respect for this guy!

[@CarlosCarranco]

Glenn is the man. Creative Drumming at his best.

[@mantistoboggan2599]

dang I could listen to that all day.

[@albertomartin4215]

This guy is so creative that he has inspired me, and make me think of the way I can see drumming. So incredible, thanks so much for this video!

[@jvz1970]

Glenn is so fucking good! Love his musical sensibility.

[@Orange_Noise]

Loving the creativity

[@isseiuchida]

I love this play. And so amazing performance!!!!

[@PapiBueno]

Most creative drumming I've seen and heard.

[@harrisonmyers1572]

That has got to be the /craziest/ drum set I have ever seen!

[@Teloitus]

Whaaaaaaat.... This goes beyond so many aspects of the definition of drumming. It is kinda cool and really original. Amazing! I just couldn't do anything else than watch and try to lift my chin off the floor

[@STIXAHOY]

FORWARD THINKER.........amazing...........Trilok gurtu and this dude.........genius

[@aidencunha735]

This is incredible

[@PromarkDrumsticks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tmaddrummer]

Thanks and Blessings!!!

[@CrazyLG72]

Always been a promark guy! I've been trying other brands but I go right back to the 747 Neil peart oak

[@larrytate1657]

It's funny I used to not like the feel of promarks when I started drumming but now they feel best to me.

[@ronayers5133]

Saw him do this at modern drummer festival.... so cool

[@Deech72]

Inspiring!!!

[@marcellocanu4319]

You are a genius

[@robbyairgun4258]

Tradisional drume.. music story hanoman.. bali indonesia.. glen kotche best drumer

[@mingyukim6360]

This video makes me keep watching😂😂

[@paulalkbrenner7831]

I like it when people understand what rhythm, percussions and drumming realy can be ...I mean if you click around on KZbin as someone who is not a drummer or a musician you have to think that drumming is only about making stick stricks, playing brutal breakdowns to a dubstep song or look cool while you move like an idiot ... I love every kind of drummer an any kind of music, but music is art too. People forget that ...

[@sattarise5496]

Yup, even if you are a drummer , most of those guys are just people trying to be someone else. Kotche's drumming is a statement, not a shitty 4/4 bar.

[@patrickcarroll1754]

The man is masterful.

[@HaloAdmiral]

Best sticks ever

[@johndurg]

I've seen him perform this live. I thought the crickets were real. Such a cool effect.

[@Jorgelopezdrums]

This dude has sampled many drugs. Outstanding drumming!

[@SeenACowSki]

Interesting “fact” to throw out there, but false.

[@bradyjones4679]

Get this guy on a Tom waits record

[@SeenACowSki]

Seriously!

[@paistetamazildjianvicfirth4275]

Anyone know if he's had any other promark sig sticks before the active wave 570?... because these aren't them

[@mjm5081]

❤

[@drewbrewer8379]

Guy is definitely a unique character in the drumming world, I've never seen anything like this kit before, then again I've only been playing for a few years now so some one correct me if I'm wrong. Just wow...+50 to creativity

[@fess04]

..... youd nevver be wrong....but Glenn comes out of a whole tradition of individual percussion artists ... they are largely unknown in popular contexts....but checkout Paul Wertico, Tony Oxley, Evelyn Glennie .... she did the theme for 2012 Olympics on an Aluphone .....magnificient....David Kucherman also is quite worthy of a look...good luck : )

[@bebop8884]

fess04 I'll add Nebojsa Zivkovic, Steven Schick and Greg Beyer to that list as well :)

[@TheDbsgurdbsgur]

What is the name of that instrument that sounds like a cricket?

[@hellixxx]

what are those little chinese cricket noisemakers called?

[@AquaAnim]

this is great, 4 months later and there still not released? Are these sticks not gonna be coming to the public or what?

[@neilxpeart]

They are available at MusiciansFriend. www.musiciansfriend.com/drums-percussion/pro-mark-select-balance-wood-tip-drumsticks/j03134 www.musiciansfriend.com/drums-percussion/pro-mark-select-balance-wood-tip-drumsticks

[@AquaAnim]

Daniel Nehring No mate, his SIGNATURE stick, is supposed to be coming out. Thats not his signature stick.

[@AquaAnim]

***** yeah thats what im saying

[@AquaAnim]

***** I didnt have any question marks. And obviously its not ready because I cant purchase it.

[@AquaAnim]

***** Yes because at NAMM they said they were to be launched at the same time as the balance series and I forget the other signature stick. Do you remember the other guys name? It has like a piece of the stick cut out.

[@jackfox6793]

It's weird but cool, idk how to explain it.

[@evalambson1731]

What happens when he has to change a snare head?

[@rjkade]

He may have one of these vented heads that he could easily feed the coils into

[@CharlesTPrimm]

True trap set

[@samm8728]

the spring pulling sounds like chickens lol

[@lucasgoudie1851]

Glenn kotche is the kind of drummer that terry bozzio thinks he is but will never be.

[@fess04]

.... oh, im not sure about that....if you ask Glenn im sure he would agree....Terry has opened doors for Minemman , Lang .... i would say Virgil but as i understand they are similiar age...also, Terry Boizzio's discography is prodigious having performed with Beck , Symphony orchestras, Robbie Robertson to name a few.....his solo drumset concertos are mind blowing to say the least....comparisons fail utterly here as i am a huge Kotche fan . tremendously creative stuff all around.

[@LHSDrummings]

That is so true! Hahaha terry thinks he can play really percussive stuff but cant

[@lucasgoudie1851]

all it is is fucking basic polyrhthms and linear rolls

[@larrytate1657]

Terry can play crazy advanced stuff. It may not always sound the most tastey but make no mistake it's difficult.

[@Sunkenballs12]

He's an artist,I really doubt he actually thinks as highly as he talks of his sticks,but hey I'll talk about sticks for money.
